    I would definitely love to see IBM starts to support content store in both Azure products listed in this idea. Moving on-premises databases to the cloud has gained huge traction industry wide and this is a logical step for IBM to undertake. If the organization vision is to move to cloud based architecture and Cognos Analytics does not offer this option, I'm afraid clients may be incentivized to move away from Cognos and adopt new cloud based product such as PowerBI, which will support Azure sql databases. At the end, it translate to losing customers.
